Spain and Portugal are vibrant, soulful destinations that are meant to be experienced, not rushed. I’ve spent time in Madrid, where I loved the energy of the city, late nights, and the way people gather over tapas and conversation. In Barcelona, the stunning Sagrada Família left a lasting impression, along with incredible food and shopping.
Portugal brought a beautiful contrast—Porto’s slower pace and an unforgettable Douro Valley wine tour, followed by Lisbon, rich with artists, history, and layered neighborhoods. Together, Spain and Portugal offer a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and character, and I love designing itineraries that capture both the energy and the quieter, meaningful moments.

30th anniversary trip
Reviewed By The Beaverts - Frisco, TX | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Melinda was phenomenal to work with as she literally thought of every detail. No detail was missed. It was such a memorable and flawless trip due to her planning, knowledge, research and expertise. It would have been impossible for us to have planned this trip alone and get in all of the sights and experiences that she was able to plan for us. We will definitely continue to use her services for future trips.

An excellent trip in SPAIN
Reviewed By Bert - Fort Mill, SC | Traveled to Madrid | Spain | Europe
Working with Melinda allowed us to have a trip full of sights and experiences that were simply executed due to her guidance. Easy tours, small groups, skip the line tickets and great guides who love their country. Experiences from salsa dance lessons, tapas tour, cooking class along with an introduction to their local markets, bike rides, hot air balloon as the sun came up, watching sunsets and the list goes on…
Everyone wants to know about our itinerary!

European Adventure
Reviewed By AmyL - Celina, Texas | Traveled to Europe
Melinda was invaluable in helping us plan and execute our complicated multi-city European adventure. The hotels she recommended were fabulous, we loved the tours she arranged, and our train and air travel between cities was seamless. She was accessible during our trip for last-minute advice and help, and everything we needed was tucked neatly into an app on our phones that she loaded with information for our trip. We didn't worry about a thing on our trip, knowing she had covered all the bases. I would not hesitate to recommend Melinda, and plan to use her again.
